Revolutionary Infantry

Revolutionary Infantry were the main units of the French Army during the French Revolutionary Wars.

History
The levee en masse system of 1793 was a large conscription order, and many men from across France were called to arms to defend their country from invasion by the Austrian Empire, Prussia, Spain, Hannover, and Great Britain. The Revolutionary Infantry were organized into regiments of 1,600 troops each, serving as line infantry for the Republic of France until the regime change of 1803.
